'Mission complete': Sully the service dog to accompany Bush one last time

There will be a national day of mourning Wednesday to honor the late former President George H.W. Bush, who died Friday night at 94. At the casket's side, an aide helped Dole into a standing position.

With Trump due to attend the funeral of President Bush, the nation can expect the Bush family to show "kindness and class" to Trump when he attends the service, according to a former Bush 43 White House official.

While Bush ultimately defeated Dole, the two remained friends for several years.

A previous version of this article included the incorrect date of President George H.W. Bush's death.

A spokeswoman for Melania Trump noted the tour happened but did not offer any details.

Trump tweeted earlier Tuesday that he was "Looking forward to being with the wonderful Bush family at Blair House today".

A humble hero of World War II, Bush was just 20 when he survived being shot down during a bombing run over a Japanese island.

Political combatants set aside their fights to honor a Republican who led in a less toxic era and at times found commonality with Democrats despite sharp policy disagreements.

Postal Service announced on its website that all retail locations will be closed Wednesday and home delivery will be suspended for the day, with the exception of some package deliveries. Bush himself seemed to be holding back tears. The Post reported that one person close to the funeral planning said the Bush family's decision to be amicable toward the current president was "at least partly pragmatic" because Trump has the final say over important aspects of the funeral, including the use of Air Force One to carry Bush's body between Texas to Washington.

The late president will be taken by train to College Station, where he will be buried on the grounds of his presidential library at Texas A&M University. Flags on public buildings are flying at half-staff for 30 days.

"I am saddened to learn of the passing of President George H.W. Bush".
